💬 Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266
-
I built a ESP8266 (Lolin V3) gw with RFM69 868mhz according to instructions.
I flashed NodeMCU with EspTool without problems. I then uploaded my sketch. It started first OK, but after I set a fixed IP with my router, it will not connect anymore (to router??).Debug:

Hi I just have build this GW. and it is working. But as you can see in the screenshots, I get really strange readings from my sensors. The serial connected GW is working good.
the first screenshot, strange temperature. no idea from where this is coming. second screen shot also strange temperature, and a battery reading.....
I know from which sensors this is coming since the serial GW is also logging them. and these values are simply wrong. any idea what I should change?
thanks

Hi there all,
I'm new here and for first think I'll like to thanks a lot for this wonderful MySensorsI just folow step-by-step the guide here: Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266
- use all this on a NodeMcu
- I opened the sketch from Arduino Ide from File>Examples>My Sensors> GatewayESP8266
- I edited my WiFi credentials, compiled, and write it on the NodeMcu
- I opened the serial console and watch...
This is what I see on the NodeMcu log:
2216 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... scandone state: 0 -> 2 (b0) 3982 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... state: 2 -> 3 (0) state: 3 -> 0 (12) reconnect 5068 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... 6096 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... 7124 GWT:TIN:CONNECTING... scandone state: 0 -> 2 (b0) state: 2 -> 3 (0) state: 3 -> 0 (12)This NodeMcu was always connecting on my WiFi LAN.
Someone can help me please ?Thanks in advance

I finally understand with was the problem...
My WiFi Mesh LAN accepted only 802.11.g+n radio... now that I have set 802.11.b+g+n it's ok
Strange this think cause an all other WiFi Arduino schetch the 802.11.g+n radio was always accepted.Anyway... now it's work :-)

Hi,
I have a small problem: I am using the Gateway Mysensor EPS8266 WIFi.
Everything is correctly working except the leds:in the code mysensor code , there is:
// Flash leds on rx / tx / err
// Led pins used if blinking feature is enabled abovedefine MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 16 // Error led pin
define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN 16 // Receive led pin
define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN 16 // the PCB, on board LEDI replaced by:
// Flash leds on rx / tx / err
// Uncomment to override default HW configurations
#define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 1 // Error led pin
#define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN 3 // Receive led pin
#define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN 4 // the PCB, on board LEDand it does not work: the LEDs are always half-on.
can You tell me if these pins are used for other things and only PIN16 is available for the user ?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
I have been using MySensors for a long time. First with serial gateway now with ESP8266 gateway. For months everything worked fine except for small dropouts. Due to dropouts I wanted to switch to current development branch, since then I can not get the gateway to work.
The ESP delivers only the following output:ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,6) load 0x4010f000, len 3460, room 16 tail 4 chksum 0xcc load 0x3fff20b8, len 40, room 4 tail 4 chksum 0xc9 csum 0xc9 v00051da0 ~ldI use ESP07 with RFM69 and Standard Sketch. Compiled the code with Arduino IDE as well as with VS code, always with the same result.
I disconnected RFM69 and checked the supply voltage. Have even used other calculator.
Have also tested ESP12e.
Erase Flash I have also already done.
However, when I run other code on the ESP, it runs without problems.
Erase Flash I have also already done.

Sorry for crosspost.
I found out that the error was due to too new version of espressif8266. I had version 3.1.0 installed, but MySensors seems to work only with versions < 3.0.0. Otherwise the error comes up. Unfortunately I did not find any hint about this anywhere. -
Hello! I'm trying to run ESP8266 gateway with nrf24l01 radio module, but when I run it I don't see any logs, I've enebled debugging mode, but still no logs (and it doesn't run gateway either). I've checked connection between this board end esp32 - they communicate well. Don't know what to do else.

@Serj-Sam you mention "connection between this board and esp32". What board are you referring to, and what type of connection? Wifi?
@mfalkvidd I have esp8266 NodeMCU v3. I've connected it to esp32 devkit via nrf24l01 using simple test code where I sending and reading constant string. It's just to exclude problems with nrf24l01 and esp8266.
@Yveaux I don't have any logs through serial port related to the MySensors. When I remove MySensors lib (and the code related to it) I'm able to print messages in setup() and loop() section, but with MySensors lib it stuckted somewhere without logs and do not execute code in setup() and loop() sections. -

@Yveaux said in 💬 Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266:
downgrade the esp arduino core
Thank you @Yveaux ! It works now! Have you heard anything about long-term solution? Looks like this will be overwritten once I update MySensors lib.

Hi,
I would like to add sendSketchInfo to my gateway.
I addedconst char* sketch_name = "GatewayESP8266OTA_v3";
const char* rev = "1.01";at the beginning of the sketch and
sendSketchInfo(sketch_name, rev);
in the presentation part.
but this doesn't seem to work. Am I doing anything wrong? Any suggestion on how to do it right? Many thanks in advance!

@Fat-Fly i also want the answer of this question

Worth noting - use MY_RFM69_NEW_DRIVER define... (2.3.2+)
#ifdef ESP8266 // For RFM69 #define MY_RADIO_RFM69 #define MY_RFM69_NEW_DRIVER #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RFM69_868MHZ // Set your frequency here #define MY_IS_RFM69HW // Omit if your RFM is not "H" #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN D1 #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_NUM digitalPinToInterrupt(MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN) #define MY_RFM69_CS_PIN D8 // NSS. Use MY_RFM69_SPI_CS for older versions (before 2.2.0) #endif
